Fire Chief for a Day

Page Content

​​For Fire Prevention Week, we were so excited to name Salaar Khan, a Grade One student from Nicholas Sheran Community School, as Fire Chief for a Day. Salaar got a pretty cool firefighter experience including some fire training, lunch at the station and a sweet new uniform. Congrats little buddy!

Data shows that the public has many misconceptions about smoke alarms, which may put them at increased risk in the event of a home fire. For example, only a small percentage of people know how old their sm​​oke alarms are, or how often they need to be replaced. Read ​mor​e from NFPA Journal.​

Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years.

Make sure you know how old all the smoke​​ alarms are in your home.

To find out how old a smoke alarm is, look at the date of manufacture on the back of the alarm; the alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date.​
